Commissioner Macht emphasized that the Board is still responsible for taking care of what is put before it . The people in North Beach have built single - family construction all the way down to CR- 510 . Another consideration should be the simple courtesy awarded from neighbor to neighbor . Blocking the view of a neighbor could not be considered courteous . He felt that P &Z did not consider a number of facts including the visual evidence of erosion and the health , safety and welfare of the people who will live in that development . He saw no reason to permit a dangerous situation even though it may meet the letter of the law . Martin and Broward Counties have seen fit to extend the CCCL one way or the other and the state has set requirements to build elevated buildings , more than a tacit admission that the building will be in harm ' s way . When the City of Vero Beach was asked to be the determining authority in 1986 or 1987 , the City Manager commented that DEP simply wanted to get out of the stream of lawsuits which they could see coming . MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht , SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge , to uphold the Planning & Zoning Commission ' s decision . Chairman Ginn questioned how much FEMA money has been dedicated to restoration of this area , and County Coastal Engineer Jeff Tabar stated that the County has received $ 900 , 000 from FEMA to replace 2 miles of dunes directly to the south of this site , including the adjacent property . Chairman Ginn felt the State has done a very poor job in protecting the area between the CCCLs . She felt that revisions to the regulations should be on the front burner before any more of these projects are presented . JANUARY 16 , 2001 BK i 16 PG 7 5 3 - 39 -
